About Jorge Martinez

Born in Havana-Cuba moving to the USA in 1969. Grew up mostly in the South Bay of Los Angeles County graduating from Mira Costa High School in 1975. Have lived in Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Long Beach, Bakersfield, and now Palm Springs. Hospitality has been my carrier since my first job just out of high school. Now enjoying life to the fullest and sharing a piece of Paradise with my guests.

Jorge Martinez purchased this apartment in 1996

Why Jorge Martinez chose Palm Springs, South

Being in the Hospitality Industry all my life I long dreamed of owning my own business where I could provide deluxe, comfortable, and personable but yet private accommodations for travelers from all parts of the world. Since the late 1970’s I often vacationed in Palm Springs where I always enjoyed the warm sunny weather and relaxing resort style atmosphere this wonderful town has to offer. The Mid-Century Modern architecture, majestic mountains surrounding the valley and historic Hollywood movie star flair are but a few features that makes Palm Springs like no other location in the world.

When it came time to choose the destination for my dream I considered other locations like Hawaii and Key West, but the charm and location of this amazing desert city far outweighed any others I could have chosen. So, in 1996 I made the best decision I ever made in my life and chose Palm Springs to live out my dream. Since then my experience here has surpass my expectations and every day that goes by I continue to find new exiting things to see and do, and what a great feeling it is to share that with my guests!

What makes this apartment unique

The central location of this property is one of the unique benefits you will enjoy with the ability to walk downtown for shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and the active night life that makes Palm Springs one of the most desired vacation destinations in the world. Additional benefits include having your very own full kitchen, relaxing by the heated pool and spa, and enjoying the majestic views of our beautiful mountains which include hiking trails, waterfalls, and local flora. Built in the late 1950’s a recent renovation has incorporated modern touches with the Mid-Century Modern architecture that was original to the building resulting in a mix between history and today’s comfort necessities.

The best unique benefit I can personally offer you is the most honest, personable, and friendly service in the Industry while respecting your privacy. I personally handle all aspects of my vacation rental apartments and look forward to being of service.

Great Retro Getaway

If you're yearning for the the 50's....this is the place! A comfy apartment, walk-able to downtown Palm Springs. Jorge was very accessible to our needs and made us feel welcome. The apartment we stayed in (no.4), was perfect for a couple. The pool was steps away. We recommend a stay.

Great vintage apartment in central location

My husband and I spent seven days at Warm Sands Apartment in January 2016. We were looking for a place that was not on a golf course or other resort, and that was located near the center of town. We liked the fact that this was an older, smaller complex, and the 50s decor really added to its appeal. It’s in a convenient location with free off-street parking, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe.

Jorge, the owner, advised us about amenities in the area, and we used a rewards card on the key ring to get discount prices at the nearby Ralphs supermarket. During our stay we visited Joshua Tree National Park and Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, as well as family in the Yucaipa and Redlands areas. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants an affordable, conveniently located vacation rental with a vintage decor.

Owner's Response: Lola and husband were great guests respecting all house rules and taking good care of the property. I appreciated the good communication skills and look forward to welcoming them back any time.

Great one bed apartment in Palm Springs

We really enjoyed our few days staying in one of Jorge's apartments in Palm Springs. We stayed as a family of four (2 adults, 2 young children). Property was as described and Jorge was home and on hand when needed when we had questions but not intrusive otherwise. We had a great time in the pool and in the hot tub!! Good location in terms of downtown, nearby supermarkets, access to tourist attractions.

We enjoyed the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the Children's Discovery Center and The Living Desert while we were there, plus a ranger at the top of the tramway gave us a tip to check out the Whitewater Preserve - glorious and quiet wading pond in lovely surroundings and for free! Great Shakes supplied us with fab milkshakes too. Great short break for the family.

Providing accommodations that guests have come to expect is always my goal and it is a pleasure to hear that is exactly what they experience.
